Abstract
Nickel (Ni+2) doped nanocrystalline Bi2S3 thin films are deposited on the glass substrate from the solutions containing Bismuth Nitrate, Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and Thioacetamide at a bath deposition temperature of 318K. The optical, surface morphological and electrical properties of Ni-doped Bi2S3 thin films prepared at three different doping concentration are investigate by using ultraviolet–visible transmission spectra (UV–Vis), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDAX) and thermo-e.m.f. techniques. The optical band gap energies are found in between 2.32-2.43 eV. The SEM images show that the prepared films are continuous, dense and distributed over the entire area with good uniformity. The electrical conductivity of the films are in the order of 10-2 Ω-1 m-1 . The films are n-type as determined from the Hot Probe method. Photoconductivity studies reveal that photocurrent increases with the increase in Ni doping concentrations. Due to the absorption of photons, free electron-hole pairs (EHP) are produce.
期刊介绍:
Chalcogenide Letters (CHL) has the aim to publish rapidly papers in chalcogenide field of research and
appears with twelve issues per year. The journal is open to letters, short communications and breakings news
inserted as Short Notes, in the field of chalcogenide materials either amorphous or crystalline. Short papers in
structure, properties and applications, as well as those covering special properties in nano-structured
chalcogenides are admitted.
